This exercise in extemporaneous piecing was inspired by a painting by contemporary artist Leonid Afremov www.afremov.com. I worked from a small magazine picture on my friend Sharon's inspiration board. Of course the complementary colors drew me in, but also the opportunity to create an abstract composition from a very lively picture. All the fun, however, was in the wild piecing which was brought under control as trapezoidal blocks.

This year my Loose Threads Art Group is creating pieces inspired by each other's story boards. (A story board is a collection of images, quotes, objects etc. that one finds intriguing.) On Anna's board I found a diminutive (2"x3") circuit board, which I thought might make an interesting abstract composition. Successful or not, it certainly moved me away from my comfort zone because collage is rarely a solution I choose.

About Me

Very soon after I became a quilter I discovered art quilting to be my niche. I am a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates, two quilt guilds, and Postmark'd Art. Galleries, trunk shows, quilt shows, blogging...I am so pleased when people want to see my art.
I want to attract your eyes with color and composition, and then take them on a journey around the quilt. Look closer. You'll be rewarded with interesting details. Enjoy.
